I remember my pay check in basic was $32 after taxes every two weeks. I remember they offered me a $5K bonus and my choice of duty station if I re-enlisted.
A fellow airman took a "short" re-enlistment; he signed up for what amounted to an additional 2 years and got the 5 grand. He threw one hell of great party; plenty of booze, food, and professional female entertainment. I personally took part in the feminine entertainment twice. Ah, to be young and virale again.
